9.30pm, My Strange Addiction, Discovery Home and Health channel

Sunday to Tuesday

9pm, Manhunt, ITV 1. See if it mentions the witch-hunt against a mental health patient.

There might be a re-write of history in this fawning drama. (As in every episode of The Bill) the police will probably claim they made no errors which weren't the fault of liberal laws concerning their powers.

In fact though the police arrested an innocent mental health patient over the murder of Amelie Delagrange, and many years before they correctly arrested Levi Bellfield - who had already murdered Milly Dowler of course.

The police initially thought that Milly Dowler had been murdered by her own father, merely due to finding (very widely available) girlie mags in his house - so wrong again there too.

(Between 1985 and 2011 the BBC made monthly episodes of Crimewatch in direct co-operation with the police. Yet during all that time not one BBC employee mentioned Jim Savile to any police officer who was sitting right next to them making the TV show)

Don't expect the mainstream media to make you think. John Motson read out the police version of Hillsborough on-air before even checking if any BBC reporter was by those gates - the following day it emerged as totally wrong when ITV broadcast the CCTV showing the police opening the gates - some thing happened with Plebgate - the CCTV confounded the police version but was only found later.
